Sponsor a child in India

Although India appears to be one of the world’s fastest growing economies, scratch below the surface and you’ll see the real story of many children living in abject poverty.  By sponsoring a child today you can help provide them and their community with access to clean safe water, food, healthcare and an education.

• About 35% of India’s population live on less than US$1 a day (Source: BBC website).
• Poverty is at its worst in rural areas and is often accompanied by high levels of illiteracy and poor health.
• India has the largest number of child labourers under the age of 14 in the world and 20% of children between the ages of 6 and 14 do not go to school. (Source: Unicef)

At World Vision, we believe the best way to change a child's life is to change the world in which they live. By sponsoring a child in India and giving £18 per month to charity, you will help to bring about long-term benefits to the sponsored child, their family and community, so they have a chance of a better future.
